  • Online it usually says if points are to be deducted but that's before you put it in the machine. Maybe their promotion went wrong where you could win up to £100 in points!

    I'm guessing you have no Boots receipts anywhere, which probably means you haven't had an advantage card statement lately either. I think the problem would be proving you hadn't spent the points since your last receipt/statement :(

    Might be worth calling customer services to see what's happened, does seem that Boots have become a bit crafty recentl.
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff
    The more you put into life, the more you get out
  • Have you used a parents code because Mr B has in the past frozen a/cards, taken away points or revoked the card if the person wasn't entitled to use the code.:o
    I have not had any offers this year either but assumed Mr B was too busy preparing for the 75% sale :cool: I am now wondering if he might be too busy counting his profits:(

    That's a good point! Wasn't it this time of year last time people had points deducted for using the parenting code incorrectly and having more than one advantage card per household?

    I should be ok in that department as I do have children and they can see I buy toys, nappies etc online

    No, not used a parents code as my kids are parents themselves.

    I think I will write to them - always prefer things in print.

    I don't recall seeing an Advantage statement, ever. Will ask about that too.

    Thanks everyone.

  • i have just chacked my basket on the boots site and it still has all the things in it

    Yes, I called Brookfield Farm, Cheshunt, asked if the 75% sale had started yet - the lady she said no I don't think so , it looks like it's still 50%. Didn't know when or if it was going to start.

    Popping to Harlow this morning, will try and pick up the FCUK offer, looks good.
